Name: Walmart Gift Card - UNITED STATES
Brand: Walmart
SKU: 25

Question 1

Can I use it at Sam's Club as well as Walmart?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A Walmart gift card works at Walmart and Sam's Club, since they are part of the same company. There is one thing to know about Sam's Club. If you are not a member, you can still use the card there for specific services like the pharmacy, optical center and fuel, but general shopping in the club requires a Sam's Club membership. At Walmart itself, there is no such restriction.

Question 2

Does it need to be activated before I can use it?

Accepted Answer

For a normal purchase, no. Standard Walmart gift cards are active as soon as they are bought, so you can spend the balance right away. Activation only comes up with large or bulk orders, specifically 25 cards or more, or orders of $250 and above, where Walmart sends a separate email about activating them. For a single card of a normal amount, there is nothing extra to do before you spend it.

Question 3

What can't I buy with it?

Accepted Answer

A Walmart gift card covers almost everything Walmart sells, but not quite all of it. The main limit people run into is that it cannot be used to buy other gift cards. Certain restricted items, which vary by state and by local law, may also be excluded at checkout, such as some age-restricted products. For everyday shopping across groceries, electronics, household goods and clothing, the balance applies with no issue.

Question 4

How do I check my balance?

Accepted Answer

You need the card number and the PIN, both of which are in your delivery email. With those, you can check your balance on Walmart's gift card balance page, by calling Walmart's automated line, or at the customer service desk in any store. Your balance also shows at checkout when you apply the card. It is worth keeping your delivery email, since Walmart does not replace a lost or stolen card and cannot look up a balance without the card number and PIN.

Question 5

Does a Walmart gift card expire or lose value over time?

Accepted Answer

No. Walmart gift cards do not expire and carry no fees, so a balance you have not spent stays exactly as it is until you use it. Treat the card like cash, though, since Walmart does not replace a gift card that is lost or stolen. Keep your delivery email somewhere safe, and if you want an extra layer of protection, you can register the card on Walmart's website.
